Band-Maid is her band and she will do anything to keep it going. Love Miku to bits for everything she is. Miku can clearly be seen playing a solo intro to Kanami's main solo in Puzzle Official Live video.
Johnny sensei こんにちは😃❣️ kanami calls MIKU a strategist. well, it seems that MIKU didn't want her say something like this while recoding a TV program. if a strategist doesn't hide the fact that she is a strategist , her plans won't be successful. SAIKI said that MIKU can be summed up in one word：responsibility. yep , definitely, although it in not mentioned in this video, MIKU still practices guitar 8 hours a day. if you watch her recent live performances , her guitar technique has reached an astonishing level. so , as SAIKI says ,she absolutely keeps her promises😊
That banner behind them is the cover of their first full length album where they wrote 8 of the 13 songs, that video was taken from the "Pre-Release" concert for the album at Akasaka Blitz in January 2017. And I find it impossible to pick one member over another. They are all interlinked, without each and every one of them there is NO Band-Maid.
One of the byproducts of listening to Band-Maid I discovered early on was that their music makes me unreasonably happy. Like no music I've ever heard before.
Yep, this petite ball of energy was 100% born to be on stage, to give people a good time with music and her wonderful personality. ✨ And the fact that she has overcome some not so small hurdles to achieve this only makes it more special for those who know her story (imo)... Yes, some may find it annoying or think that it doesn't fit their image with hard rock music, but for me it is such a hugely important point that sets them apart. And even from the videos/MC's of Miku that are out there, of which I don't understand a single freakin' word, I can't help but smile at the end. Her way and energy overcomes language barriers for me and I think that's something very special. 'Admirable' is a word I am only too happy to repeat when it comes to Miku. ❤🔥 Oh, and btw, I don't know how others see it and i don't really care, but from my point of view, you're no less a fan of the ladies than we are. Your words, your enthusiasm for their music and their story are indication enough... I stumbled across the ladies at the end of 2019, only 2 or 3 months AFTER they played just a 3 hours' drive away from me, which hasn't been the case again to this day. So unfortunately I also haven't had the pleasure to experience B-M properly live in all these years. Does that disqualify me as a fan? I don't think so. 😉✌🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊
Impossible to pick one member of this band as my favorite. I do adore Saiki for her magnificent voice and others for the incredible talents and hard earned skills they bring to us, but it is to Miku that I owe my deepest respect and gratitude, for if not for her and her drive and ambition to make this band who they are, my life would be lacking in a very, very important way. This old 72 year old man now must have Band Maid as a part of every day now. They are so good and I owe so much to Miku for giving me the gift of Band Maid!!!!!
Thanks for watching this series, and you're write, Band-Maid has invented a new genre of music called "Smile Rock". This music is something that I listen to every day as it makes me feel good for the rest of the day. Again, thanks for continuing to react to Band-Maid. PO
Johnny, I know that feeling every time I heard their music...a smile spreads out from my soul and a good feeling springs out of me....I also have developed a warm feeling for these ladies and ass I was watching a video with Miku doing a guitar solo, all of a sudden I shouted out " Go Miku Go!!!!" I'm proud to have found this band late 2014 on RUclips...and having travelled to see them 4 times already...Thanks for the reactions...your comments are well thought out and fun to listen to...Peace & Respect from Canada
Love watching these and seeing people realize how important Miku is/was to Band-Maid's creation and development. She is the driving force behind the band. BTW, you're not alone. I share the same problem with you. I hear Band-Maid and happiness with a smile takes over. Feeling a little stressed...no problem...listen to a little Band-Maid. Works for me! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Miku is one amazing lady. She is definitely the actual heart of the band. In my view, she is the Cutest Rock Star alive. ❤ Of course, it does not hurt to have a teacher like Kanami. Thank you MIKU for all you have done in getting yourself and the other amazing ladies together for our enjoyment.
Miku is my personal inspiration, not just to practice guitar but in life in general. I'm not going to exaggerate but it's not a stretch to say that I think of her when something needs to get done and I need a kick in the ass. Or if I doubt my ability to do something. Sometimes I think there is nothing she couldn't do by force of will alone. She is a treasure.
Great reaction…Yes she is really everyone’s favorite even though some will say else-wise! The Heart & Soul of Band-Maid…but I’ve heard a master negotiator & business pigeon! Looking forward to part 3. 🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
As a musician of 56 plus years, I found Band-Maid back in 2014. After searching for magazine and interviews about Band-Maid and each member. "I Fell In Love With MIKU❤". She is one of the most brilliant, Funny and Beautiful women in music today. IMHO. I have collected every magazine that Band-Maid has been interviewed in. Kobato-San will always be my favorite, but all the other members are incredible also. Great reaction as always. 👍👍🕊️🇺🇸
I get what your saying about "being a fan". I as well considered myself the same UNTIL.....I came across these documentaries. And luckily I found these about a month before I was to see them live for the first time in the states. Changed my whole perspective of these ladies. And it inspired me to make the decision to learn as much about the culture of Japan and in the end, to visit TWICE!!. And see them live in their home country. Already working on another trip in the spring
I love the song "Smile", electric or acoustic versions. It's a song about the fans, as for they love to see the fan's smiles from the stage.... I’ll take you away anytime, shine Remnants of our moments are intangible Next, where shall I sing with you? Your smile makes me happy I’m right here. It’s a special view I’m right here. It’s a special view Off to somewhere far beyond the sky Can't stop moving Can't stop moving
They have an Aug. 30th show I think. Maybe you can get tickets. There are Okyu-jis in October but in Fukuoka and Sapporo. The ones in November are back in Honshu again I think. Seriously, if you can, go to one or all! 👍🏼
Miku too has been my favourite since the beginning. It might have gone by too quickly, but this video mentions Miku’s side project, Cluppo, which you REALLY should check out.
I wanted to go to the show on September the first, but I have another event I have to attend. Did try to get out of it, but couldn't without losing friends lol
Johnny, do you know why Kanami was not chosen? Hahaha, it's LOFL. When the three of them attempted to write lyrics as Band-Maid the first time, Kanami's first submission? Read this interview>>> said by Miku. (credit: KotomiPapa) 'First, Kobato, Saiki and Kanami tried writing the lyrics to a few songs, but Kanami's lyrics were a bit too... strange and airy-fairy...? I mean, for example to the theme of "The dog died...", there were illustrations of a grave on the paper where the lyrics were written, for some reason-po' - yeah, it's an absolute riot. These girls are hilarious.
I think the members are so close-knit that if one decides to quit, the whole band dissolves.
Band-Maid is her band and she will do anything to keep it going. Love Miku to bits for everything she is. Miku can clearly be seen playing a solo intro to Kanami's main solo in Puzzle Official Live video.
Miku life and soul of band maid❤
Miku had great teachers in the band.
Miku is a rare, amazing person
Yes, how can you not love Miku? I never get tired of watching this series by Ohrenje.
BAND-MAID makes people happy PO!
That image is the cover of their album "Just Bring It"
Johnny sensei こんにちは😃❣️
kanami calls MIKU a strategist.
well, it seems that MIKU didn't want her say something like this while recoding a TV program.
if a strategist doesn't hide the fact that she is a strategist , her plans won't be successful.
SAIKI said that MIKU can be summed up in one word：responsibility.
yep , definitely, although it in not mentioned in this video, MIKU still practices guitar 8 hours a day.
if you watch her recent live performances , her guitar technique has reached an astonishing level.
so , as SAIKI says ,she absolutely keeps her promises😊
Thank you so much for your comment sir!

Two years behind you.
These girls are an absolute necessity for every day.
They brought JOY to my life.😊

You are very welcome, and thank you for your comment!
Happiness and *BAND MAID* go hand in hand.
Miku has such a unique and beautiful soul.
🤘❤🔥🤘
Mike is a genius. Such a hard working lady. Cannot get enough praise
Agree.
Love watching these and seeing people realize how important Miku is/was to Band-Maid's creation and development. She is the driving force behind the band. BTW, you're not alone.

Fun Fact: The pearl inlay of roses on the Flappy Pigeon are arranged in a way that at the very bottom of the inlay they say PO! in kanji, ぽ
8:21 for those wondering.
Nice, I see it now, thank you!
I'd never noticed that. Brilliant! Thanks for pointing it out.
A correction: ぽ is hiragana, not kanji.
Love Miku PO! Thanks for your personal insights when watching!
You are very welcome.
Miku is my personal inspiration, not just to practice guitar but in life in general. I'm not going to exaggerate but it's not a stretch to say that I think of her when something needs to get done and I need a kick in the ass. Or if I doubt my ability to do something. Sometimes I think there is nothing she couldn't do by force of will alone. She is a treasure.
Miku is very special and she had 4 other very special ladies to join her ❤.
Agree!
🌹🕊️♥️
Miku Mika Kurrupo!
These documentaries never get old! Miku is a determined little Pigeon!
Yes agree, they are brilliant.
Great reaction…Yes she is really everyone’s favorite even though some will say else-wise!
The Heart & Soul of Band-Maid…but I’ve heard a master negotiator & business pigeon!
Looking forward to part 3.
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
Thanks for your comment!
As for Miku learning guitar, don't forget Kanami is her sensei!
Yes, probably the best person to teach you.
As a musician of 56 plus years, I found Band-Maid back in 2014. After searching for magazine and interviews about Band-Maid and each member. "I Fell In Love With MIKU❤".

Nice, are you coming in spring for a concert or just to visit Japan?
@@JohnnyReacts1 hoping someone/anyone announces a spring tour schedule by the time I turn in my vacay weeks (my work makes me pick all vacays at once)
Why am I always cutting onions during this part of the video 😢 37:08
Very emotional performance.
I love the song "Smile", electric or acoustic versions. It's a song about the fans, as for they love to see the fan's smiles from the stage....
I’ll take you away anytime, shine
Remnants of our moments are intangible
Next, where shall I sing with you?
Your smile makes me happy
I’m right here. It’s a special view
I’m right here. It’s a special view
Off to somewhere far beyond the sky
Can't stop moving
Can't stop moving
Thank you for your comment and the lyrics.
27:00 That skull image is cover artwork for the Just Bring It album.
It’s actually an homage to old painting “All Is Vanity” by Charles Allan Gilbert.
So nice to see someone else get this!!!!
I think it is very cool!
That stage backdrop you liked so much is the cover for Just Bring It, the album that got me into B-M.
They have an Aug. 30th show I think. Maybe you can get tickets. There are Okyu-jis in October but in Fukuoka and Sapporo. The ones in November are back in Honshu again I think. Seriously, if you can, go to one or all! 👍🏼
I will try, tried to go on September the first but unfortunately couldn't. I hope to go soon though.
Miku too has been my favourite since the beginning.
It might have gone by too quickly, but this video mentions Miku’s side project, Cluppo, which you REALLY should check out.
Yes I will thanks.
Since you live in Japan, you should go to one of their shows, you'll love it.
I wanted to go to the show on September the first, but I have another event I have to attend. Did try to get out of it, but couldn't without losing friends lol
She chose the Rickenbacker because Sheena Ringo played one as in the gips video .
miku miku miku po!!
